Vyckie Garrison started No Longer Quivering to tell the story of her “escape” from the Quiverfull movement.

Several more former QF adherents are now contributing their stories to NLQ and our collective voice makes these Quiverfull warnings impossible to dismiss or ignore.

NLQ is a gathering place for women escaping and recovering from spiritual abuse.
